The Genesee Brewing Company, based in Rochester, New York, is one of the largest and oldest continually operating breweries in the United States. The Brewery makes the Genesee line of beers, including the iconic Genesee Beer, the refreshing Genesee Light, the original Genesee Cream Ale and the Genesee Brew House Pilot Batch series of craft beers.

The limited-time-only Simcoe S.M.A.S.H. Pale Ale will be available for purchase beginning mid-December through winter 2018 in six-pack bottles, as well as on draft in select bars and restaurants, including the Genesee Brew House in Rochester, New York. Beer drinkers can purchase Simcoe S.M.A.S.H. at select locations throughout the East, Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes.

Before each beer makes its way into bottles, it’s first perfected by Brewmaster Dean Jones on the 20-barrel Pilot Batch system at the Genesee Brew House and tested by hundreds of Genesee Brew House patrons. The latest examples of this approach are Genesee Brew House Dark Chocolate Scotch Ale and Genesee Brew House Coffee Stout, each unique to their respective style and each the perfect holiday companion.

Tap it Forward Festival goers will get the first taste of an extremely rare beer brewed and barrel-aged by Genesee Brew House.

The seasonal brew is a deep-golden, German-style lager, big on malt flavor and complemented by subtle herbal notes of noble hops.

Spring is right around the corner, bringing the promise of warmer weather and most importantly… Genesee Bock Beer.
